I visited here on Friday evening with my dad, the restaurant was full which is already a great sign.
The staff were so welcoming and we were made to feel very included as they took the time to explain each individual meal to us throughly.
The venue is a little out of the way however I feel this adds more of an exclusive vibe.
The food was absolutely out of this world and the value for money is incredible. My personal favourite was the ‘pan roasted duck breast’
I will definitely be returning and over all had a great experience.

We had heard about this place and decided to book in for dinner. was not disappointed. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. The restaurant tables were well spaced out and it felt safe and clean. The menu was fabulous - lots of new flavours and the food was well presented and above all tasty. Would definitely visit again - and again

We came after a recommendation from friends and had a brilliant time. The front of house staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable, the food was delicious and you could tell how much attention to detail and thought went into each course. We particularly enjoyed the mushroom velouté and the rum-flamed pineapple - and we’ll definitely be back!

We were really looking forward to our evening out at The Base having been recommended the seven course menu by friends. The food was excellent, just the right balance of delicious favourites and new tastes! And the atmosphere was great too - the wait staff were kind and attentive, and the open kitchen provides some interest during dinner

We visited on the 6th of January for the tasting menu and it was just brilliant. Our server Abi was incredible, she made us feel at home and so comfortable, she was informative yet down to earth which we massively appreciated. We have visited many restaurants for tasting menus and the thing that stood out about Base was that it wasn’t stuffy and awkward, it was a lot more laid back and allowed us to relax and enjoy it a lot more. We loved that you all arrive and eat at the same time, that you can watch the food being prepared in front of you and Mark was also incredibly friendly and spoke with us and the other guests, it’s like we were all enjoying the same experience together yet you still had privacy at your table. As for the food - we just didn’t want it to stop! Even the bread and oils were so tasty, Mark makes an incredible sourdough that rivals the local bakeries. We could have eaten a whole bucket of the goats cheese Bon-bons but then as each course came out it just got better. I almost licked my bowl after the pea & ham soup! We will be back soon and can’t wait! Thank you all!

Dined at Base last night (22.1.2022). I would describe it as relaxed fine dining. The food was superb and the front of house staff delightful. The chef had us transfixed by his preparation and presentation of each course , the kitchen being on full view to the diners.
I would recommend a visit. The menu changes monthly and is different each week. It’s a set menu but can be viewed on the website.

Great Christmas Eve meal

Visited for a solo lunch before walking up Hoad Hill. It wasn't quite what I was expecting, I'd thought it was going to be sandwiches, soups, salads etc but I guess that'll teach me to read the reviews better another time. In fact a group of three older people came in, sat down, looked at the menu and left again! That said, I ordered the cajun vegetable skewers (vegetarian/vegan) which suited me fine, were pretty tasty and cost £9.95. It was quiet but the staff were welcoming and helpful. Other items on the menu included smoked haddock, maple glazed belly pork, posh croque monsieur and butter bean cassoulet

Four of us there last night 6th Jan for a meal, can only say really lovely food and great value. Very friendly and informative staff, great to talk with the owner/head chef at the back of the evening.
Compares favourably with any local restaurants including Michelin starred restaurants.
Small number of covers and a weekly tasting menu that is changed each week
All four of us will be going back and recommend if you haven’t been then give yourself a treat

This establishment hits all the marks for me, excellent quality of food with contemporary yet elegant plating and attentive staff with an atmosphere so perfect for a fine dining meal with a more casual feel.
This years December menu left me completely astounded right from the first course (Citrus cured sea trout) which had a texture from fish I have never experienced, followed by the Parsnip veloute served with a whipped goat's cheese that can only be described as magical. For a main I chose the Cod loin which was cooked to perfection and the chowder that it sat upon was rich and full of flavour from the clams. I finished with Mark's very unique take on "Christmas pudding" with silky pannacotta sat on a thin layer of Christmas pudding, garnished with soaked, sweet, plump golden raisins and a beautifully spiced tuile.The dessert this night has stayed in my mind since and will do for some time, I am sure. I would highly recommend this venue to any self confessed "foodie" with confidence that you would return to me with a glowing review.

Firstly, 5 stars doesn’t do Base restaurant justice . The Chef, Mark Satterthwaite was contacted by me around a month ago, we were visiting with family and were looking for a well recommended restaurant.
I told Mark whether he could source Halal meat, he contacted me stating this was possible and went above and beyond in terms of his service , ensuring that all our dietary requirements were met.
He altered his Christmas menu to make our meal incredibly special, and I can’t thank him enough ! The food was outstanding , warm and welcoming staff and I will definitely be visiting again next time the family and I visit ! Thank you so much Mark & Base staff

This is a place that’s a real find. This guy and his team can really cook. Wonderful smoked duck starter and superb smoked haddock risotto. The service was very good indeed. Don’t hesitate to try this fabulous place. No wonder the reviews are so good.

Another excellent lunch, Mark is a superb and innovative chef. Every time we come we ask ourselves why we don't eat here more often.

What a find! Taken here by friends for dinner. Only open Thursday to Saturday nights for dinner (also serves lunch but different menu) and there is a set menu which changes every week. The food was outstanding. Some places which serve food of this standard can be a bit stuffy. I don't mind that but prefer a more relaxed atmosphere. This restaurant is relaxed but comfortable. Excellent service made easier by the fact you don't have to choose what you are having! Modest but more than adequate wine list. Kitchen is open to restaurant which creates a live feeling and Head Chef/owner Mark Satterthwaite comes round for a chat at the end of the meal. Nice touch. I can be a bit faddy when it comes to choosing food but when it's a taster menu I just take what's on offer and it's always delicious. Don't worry abut what it says on menu just enjoy the food. Can't wait to go again.

Me and my wife ate here tonight. Had an amazing dinner from start to finish already looking to go again.
The corn chowder was amazing to start and the pork cheeks and monkfish main were as good if not better. Can't recommend enough if you enjoy proper food In a intimate setting.
